Jewish Country Western Songs?

I saw this somewhere and added some of my own and invited friends to add theirs.

Here are the originals:

* Stand by Your Mensch.
* I Balanced Your Books, But You're Breakin' My Heart
* You've Been Talkin' Hebrew In Your Sleep Since That Rabbi Came To Town.
* Mamas Don't Let Their Ungrateful Sons Grow Up to Be Cowboys (When You Could Very Easily Have Taken Over The Family Hardware Business That My Own Father Broke His Back To Start And Your Father Sweated Over For 45 Years Which Apparently Doesn't Mean Anything To You Now That You're Turning Your Back On Such A Gift To Ride Around All Day On Some Meshuggenah Horse).

Here are mine:

* Tears in my Manischevitz
* Someone else's Borselino is hangin' on my peg
* Boot, scoot, Shmulki's Niggun and a Horah
* I shot the Shaygitz

And these are from friends:

Sitting in the Dark (Don't Mind Me) by Ema Kvetch.
That You Call A Horse? by Wilma Rider.
Love Has Left Me... Some Tsochkes by Colette Histaff.
Kvellin' For The Home Cookin' by Sue Pchick.
Whose coat peg has your bekeshe been hangin' on?
He wore a ten-gallon Shtreimel.
"You had me at Shalom"
* I Went Out for Bagels, She Changed the Locks
